You'd be better off with a cheap windows laptop. Used or otherwise.


Cheap laptops appear to be worth what one pays for them - and I've had a few, but not recently.

I'm open to suggestions or alternatives to the Neo - if you have any in mind. I like it's long battery life, the metal case and ...

Using basecamp for ...
